Breeze Fabricators (1/24/2008)If you are worried about the tubeing interior then drill drain holes in the rear bottom and the front top of the main tubes. After use the frame will drain and when you get home from the week trip plug the bottom holes and fill the frame with fresh water and then let them drain.

very good idea.:clap

Thanks for the info guys, i do appreciate it.

Southern Hospitality at it's finest..

I've been traveling for work, so just got home and computer access..

Now for an important question..

Best Barbecue in Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores area??

We love Lambert's, but is there anything with less of a wait??

thanks

Your first time to the Gulf? Make sure your boat is in good condition, have all the necessary safety equipment. Make sure you have the proper license.Watch the weather, make sure the forecast is good, 1-2' seas, not much wind. Relaunch your boat and trailer in fresh water lake ASAP. Stay within sight of land. Enjoy yourself. :clap

Like it was said before, log into the site when or just before you come down and see if anyone would be able to "buddy" boat with you or be available to go with you and show you some "tricks". You might just give up catching "bait" up north...Good luck with the trip and hope you havea great time down here...:usaflag:usaflag

For Barbecue stay away from the "tourist" places and find the worse looking dive you see that cant even spell it B-B-Q and that is where the good stuff is.

When you get ready to head down check on here for the Forum get togethers, someone is allways doing something around that timeframe. If I happen to be down we can can have a throw down at the RV Resort where I keep my camper right off of Hwy 59 in Foley.
